## LibSearch: Finding Books and Articles

When you need a book or a scientific article, check LibSearch to see if it's available in the library.

LibSearch is a database of libraries worldwide. You can search on three levels:

- VU Library
- Libraries in the Netherlands
- Libraries worldwide

By default, the search is set to 'Libraries worldwide', and the holdings of the VU Library appear at the top. If you're having trouble finding a book or article, use the filters on the left-hand side and choose 'Best match' under 'Sort by' instead of 'Library'. If a book or article is available at the University Library (UB), this will be shown in the search results as.

Many articles and books are available digitally and can be accessed from anywhere. Some books and journals are only available as printed copies in the library. You can place a hold and borrow them for 4 weeks.

Required course literature in print can be found in the three low bookcases ('Exam Literature') in the Library Lounge on the first floor. These books can be borrowed for one day.
